Why did I love this book?
Golden Age mystery aficionados know Phoebe Atwood Taylorās humorous Cape Cod mysteries, but they may not be familiar with the even more hilariousāin my opinion, anywayāmysteries she wrote as Alice Tilton.
A friend lent me Tilltonās The Left Leg. As soon as Iād read its last page, I was on the hunt for the rest of them.
Beginning with a Bash is the first in Tiltonās series starring Leonidas Witherall, a boysā school headmaster, radio detective story writer, and dead ringer for William Shakespeare.
These mysteries read more like capers, with Witherall ricocheting around Boston as he stumbles over corpses, eludes gangsters, dons disguises, and deals with impudent children and persistent dogs. Guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.
